17th Annual Feline Medicine Conference

4/26/2013 - 4/28/2013

On behalf of the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Dr. John August,
program chair, invites you to participate in the 2013 Feline Medicine Symposium. This year’s program spotlights timely topics in the rapidly evolving field of feline medicine, combining new knowledge and ideas with practical application and take-home messages. Many of this year’s
topics are included at the request of last year’s
attendees.

We are proud to feature Dr. Vanessa Barrs as our invited speaker this year. Dr. Barrs is an Associate Professor of Small Animal Medicine at the
renowned feline medicine program at the University of Sydney, Australia. Dr. Barrs is recognized internationally for her important contributions to the advancement of feline medicine through publication and teaching.

An instructional website will complement the lecture materials in the symposium. Registrants will be able to review audiovisual materials and the proceedings and take a self-assessment test for three months after the conference. The companion website also will contain a careful selection of current journal articles related to the lectures for those participants wishing to earn extra credit through independent study. Registrants using this library resource must submit the appropriate documentation of study to their respective state board of veterinary medical examiners for licensing requirements.
